Lecture 2.
JAMES STEELE
"The Eloquent Black & White Landscape"


Saturday, November 1st, 1-2 PM
Spanish Ballroom Annex @ Glen Echo Park
Acclaimed landscape photographer James Steele's arresting black and white landscapes have been compared to those of the late masters Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. Working primarily in medium and large format, Steele's "scapes" of land, sea--and the human body--represent the finest in traditional and digital photographic imagery.  Jim has studied with Cole Weston, George Tice, Joyce Tenneson, Christopher James, Carson Graves, and Martha Casanave.  Besides teaching at Photoworks, Jim has taught at the Art League School in Alexandria, as well as at the Smithsonian and VISARTS.  His work can be seen in studio #343 at the Torpedo Factory Arts Center in Old Town.

Lecture 3.
FRANK "TICO" HERRERAImage by Frank Herrera
"The West Virginia Crosses:  My Guggenheim Adventure"
Saturday, November 8th, 1-2 PM
Spanish Ballroom Annex @ Glen Echo Park
The most senior of the speakers in the Photoworks Master Lecture Series, Frank 'Tico' Herrera has been teaching at Glen Echo since Photoworks began more than 40 years ago.  An unsurpassed black and white darkroom printer, in 1985 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to document clusters of Roman crosses that were being erected all over West Virginia by a millionaire businessman as part of a religious mission called "Cast Thy Bread." This effort, as well as Tico's large format, black and white photos, generated both news and controversy. Besides showing "lots of pictures" and telling "lots of stories" during his appearance on November 8, Tico will discuss "the effect(s) on the vernacular landscape by the introduction of dogma-laden symbols and vice-versa."

Rounding out the Master Lecture Series on November 15th will be Karen Keating, an acclaimed documentary photographer and author.  Keating, who also is the Director of Photoworks, as well as an award-winning 25-year darkroom photography teacher at Washington's Field School, will present "Snapshots of Photo History--Process & Personalities."  The lecture will cover the highlights of photography's 175 years:  from early processes, to important personalities like 'Father of Photography' Alfred Stieglitz, to Farm Security  Administration (FSA) photographers of the Great Depression, to war photographers from the Civil War to the present. Karen also will discuss the digital revolution in photography as well as the fascinating cross-fertilization that occurs when old and new technologies mix.
